For the past six months, we have been anxiously awaiting our Belarusian exchange kiddo - Mark.

Lots of planning, lots of anticipation, lots of wondering if we are doing the right thing, and lots of excitement all came together a few days ago.

The group arrived from Belarus on Thursday at Dulles Airport in Virginia. After a little issue with customs, and a minor stomach issue in the car on the way home, we finally got him settled in the house and his new home for the next six weeks.
